Sasha walked closer to the man lying on the bed, her eyes welled up too and she slowly caressed his cheek. His forehead was bandaged, showing a little of his black hair that always looks neat and tidy but was ruff now. Her tears fell on his face as she tried her best to hold it, her eyes unconsciously strayed to his legs and her sob became a little louder, so Michael will not stand tall again? He will not stand in his dignified form anymore in the balcony? He might not know it but she always watch him whenever he stood there, admiring his back.
When she moved out of their room, the guest room was adjacent to theirs, so from the balcony, she can still see him when he stood there smoking. Although she hates smokers, she can't help but admit, he use to look so stoic and handsome when he stands in the balcony, a hand his pyjamas pocket and the other holding a cigarette to his mouth. But now? Not anymore but thank heavens is temporal.Vanessa and Angelica noticed her battle and walSasha stayed in the room for a long time beside Michael, doing nothing but just staring at him. Her tummy rumbled to remind her that she hadn't eaten since afternoon. She sighed and got up and walked out of the room to see Gary sitting on the chair, his head was resting on the wall and his eyes were closed. Sasha suddenly found it difficult to wake him up, she thought about going out to look for what to eat herself, she looked at phone time and it was already 10:30, it's been five hours now since Michael came out of the emergency room.Three more hours and he would wake up just like the doctor said, she found herself praying silently that it will work like that, that he will wake up. She walked back into the room and got some money from her bag before walking out again, she debated about waking Gary up to tell him she was heading out but decided against it, it's still the same thing, waking him from sleep.She walked down the hall in low spirit and walked out through the hospi
Sasha let out a deep breath again and stretched out her hand to caress Michael's cheek when a pair of crystal blue eyes was staring at her suddenly. Sasha froze and her hand hovered in mid air, she gulped as she stared at those deep blue eyes, why did he wake up suddenly? Didn't the doctor said he will wake up in the next hour?"What are you trying to do?" Michael asked, his voice was low and almost a whisper but it still sounded cold to those who hear it and she involuntarily shuddered."I...um...I..." Sasha stuttered.The man that was staring at her furrowed his brows at her lost for words "whatever it was that you were trying to do, don't ever think about it again" he warned.Sasha let out a deep sigh and withdrew her hand, she placed it on her lap and her action some how got Michael's attention, his eyes followed her hand and he his frowned deepened."Why are you sitting on my bed? Get lost!"Sasha stood up immediately, she dragged the chair in the room a littl
"I am not the type to talk about people's love life. I believe any information of that sort, should be given by the person his or herself. So don't worry, it's safe with me."Sasha smiled then "why is that the boss is cold and the assistant is friendly?"Gary chuckled "boss really isn't that cold, when you get on his good side, you will enjoy him.""And how long is it going to take me to get there, three years too?"Gary shrugged "might not be up to that.""Yea, I can see that" she laughed without humor while Gary studied her "thank you" Sasha looked at him "I haven't talked to anyone so openly for a long time. I wish you can always come around.""I wouldn't do that" Gary rejected immediately."Why not?""Boss... You really just don't know him" he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand "there is how he thinks. You don't want him thinking something else do you?" He looked at her."Is he really like that?" She cringed her brows."He
Michael stayed in the hospital for a month before he was discharged, Vanessa was talking about hiring a nurse to take care of him at home when Sasha interjected "I will take care of him.""But sweetie, you need to go to work" Vanessa frowned."It doesn't matter. I still have my best friends there to look after the company for me and besides, Michael is my husband, it's my duty to take care of him."Vanessa smiled at that and caressed her hair "if it becomes too hard for you don't hesitate to tell me so that I will hire a caretaker.""I want a nurse" Michael said behind them and they turned to see him in his wheelchair being pushed by Gary."Sasha has offered to take care of you" Joseph told him."She needs to work" he stated nonchalantly."Janet and the rest can manage without me" Sasha told him."For a boss who is so interested in a particular contract, you need to be at your office in order to supervise how things are going. If not, your investors wil
Michael listened as the two women conversed, he was down with fever this morning and she helped calm it down? How come he doesn't have any memory of it? Could it be the reason he woke up to discover that his shirt's buttons were open? She fed him his medicine, how can he not remember any of this? He frowned as he searched his memory but he can't seem to remember anything."I will be downstairs, if you need anything you can call me" Sasha turned to walk out of the room."Go to work" Michael ordered and she turned to look at him."But I...""You don't need to worry about anything. Belinda can take care of me" he said indifferently.Sasha took in a deep breath and let it out slowly before nodding "okay. I will leave now then.""Take care of yourself Mrs. Brown" Belinda said after her and Sasha forced a smile before leaving the room.Three months later, Sasha walked into Michael's room to help him take his medicines. Belinda has called to notify them that
Sasha walked into her room and threw open her wardrobe, she brought out her box and packed every clothes inside, she didn't even spare some time to fold them neatly, she just wanted to live. She had tried, she thought she could do it and she could have if only he had given her just a little of his love was not asking for much.She paused and stared at the packed bags and her eyes welled up again, she tried to hold the tears but they forced their way out of her eyes. All along for many years she had been telling herself that things didn't work out for them because one, he is gay and two, they didn't have the opportunity to get to know each other. It was one of the reason she had decided to stay all this while, she believed that if they share enough time with one another that he will learn to love her, guess she has been wrong, they were just not meant to be.She picked up her phone and wiped her tears with the back of her hand and dialed a number, the person picked at secon

Unfortunately, marriage with him was not as she dreamt it will be and now she wants nothing more but to get out of it.Prologue:Michael sat in his car, he watched the all too familiar silhouette getting into the house, he heaved a deep sigh as his heartbeat increased, he looked beside him at the contract on the seat, will she listen to him because of it? Is she still inter
Sasha parked her car in front of the hotel, she took a deep breath before getting out of the car, the valet took the keys from her and she told him about her luggage in the trunk which he helped her brought out. She walked into the hotel and approached the receptionist "I have a room.""What name ma'am" the pretty blonde asked her with a pretty smile."Sasha White."The blonde went through her computer before looking up to her with a smile "that will be room 1001, fifth floor."Sasha nodded and she gave her the room card "would you like someone to show it you?" The girl asked."No thanks. I can mange, just tell the bellhop my room number for my bags.""Sure ma'am, I will do just that."Sasha walked into the elevator, just as she reached to press the fifth floor, someone used his hand to hold the doors, he peeked in and smiled at her before stepping inside. Sasha retuned his smile faintly, and leaned on the wall with her eyes closed after seeing him pressed the f
“I don’t get it, what would it take you to tell her how you feel?” Sapphire asked the man beside her, staring at the windscreen of his eighteenth birthday car at the young girl with dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. A girl she had known all of her life and has known that her brother was crushing on big time but will never tell her.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Christopher answered, tearing his gaze away from the girl even though it was so hard to do.Sapphire sighed, shaking her head softly, “this thing they say, like father like son, I think it’s true.”Christopher groaned tiredly, “please don’t start with your lectures about dad and mom relationship, please.”“I only use it because it the truth, I mean, look at you, you have been in love with Cindy for as long as I can remember, but tell her? Hell no,” she shook her head again.“I don’t love her.”“Yeah, keep lying to yourself,” she folded her arms on her chest, “it’s your birthday tomorrow, if you want, I can
“Happy Anniversary,” Michael whispered to Sasha in the ear and she turned to him, staring at the small box he was handing her.“What is this?” she asked with a smile, taking the box from him.“Open it, who else asks what was given to them for anniversary?” Michael rolled his eyes, then kissed her forehead.Sasha chuckled and opened the box, she was surprised to see a key and she looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, “I don’t understand.”“Let’s go,” he smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the house.“Where to?” Sasha asked, getting into the car.“To see your anniversary present, duh,” he laughed softly, getting into the car.They drove for twenty minutes and seeing the neighborhood they were driving through, Sasha frowned. “Are we going over to your parents’ house?”Michael chuckled but said nothing. Another ten minutes drive, they pulled in front of a massive gate. Michael glanced at Sasha and she raised her eyebrow at him. He smiled and turned to the windscreen, in seco
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Christopher, happy birthday to you,” Everyone chanted as Sasha walked out pushing a cart with a big creamy cake with seven lit candles.Chris was all smiles and Sasha noted that she hadn’t seen him smile so much since they left home over two months ago. And deep inside, she knew the reason and she was happy that she and Michael were able to sort their differences before his birthday came and in a way, she was able to keep her promise of celebrating his birthday as a one big family without compromising anything, nothing could make her any happier.“Alright Chris, make a wish,” Vanessa said and Chris gingerly walked over to the table that holds his big cake, closing his eyes, he blew out the candles.“What did you wish for?” Sasha asked with a smile, ruffling his hair.“I didn’t make a wish,” Chris replied.Everyone frowned at that, “why is that?” Michael asked.“I sent an appreciation prayer,” Chris replied facing every
Two weeks gone by, Sasha knew she has no grievances against Michael anymore, if even asked, she just wants them to be a family again but for some reason, she didn’t want to bring it up and was prepared to wait for him to do so. Her phone’s ringtone disrupted her thinking and she picked it from her desk, seeing the caller, she smiled and answered the call.“Sasha, how are you?” her voice drifted out from the phone.“I’m okay, Sharon and you?” Sasha asked.“I’m good. Are you in your office?”“Yes, why?”“I’m close by; you think we can grab lunch together?”“Definitely.”“Okay, I will wait for you at the restaurant.”“I will be there in five,” she answered and hung up the call. She closed the file she was supposed to be working on but instead was thinking about Michael and the time they spent in Paris. She grabbed her handbag and was out of the office in no time, bumping into Agatha. “Sorry,” she grinned, “what’s up?”Agatha glared at her while rubbing her nose, “I know you want to meet
Michael entered the restaurant where he hoped to see Sasha according to her text message. He scanned the room and saw her sitting and sipping a glass of what appeared to be Robert Mondavi, he smiled and walked up to her. “Excuse me ma’am, can I join you?”She glanced up at him and smiled, “I’m sorry but I’m waiting for someone.”“Is that so, could it be your husband?”“No, just some douche-bag that wants to have lunch with me,” she grinned.Michael placed a hand on his chest, feigning hurt. “I’m sure if you give him time that you will discover that he is not a douche-bag.”“Oh really, you must be a Good Samaritan if you are speaking well of him without even knowing him,” she placed her hand under her chin and stared up at him, a smile playing on her lips.Michael couldn’t help but notice how angelic she looked in her casual white top and blue jeans, her platinum wavy hair was falling down her shoulders like waterfall and he was gripped by the urge to lean down and kiss her, but instea
Michael got ready for his meeting that was starting in the next hour, he quickly grabbed his files and left his room, hoping to catch a quick breakfast with Sasha before he left. He already made orders in the restaurant and he hoped it would be ready by the time they got there. He heaved a sigh and knocked on her door softly, but after waiting for some seconds and there was no answer, he had to knock again, louder this time. Few seconds later, the door was thrown open by a really sleepy Sasha. He chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “late night?”Sasha yawned in a really not lady like manner and she showed that she didn’t give a damn what he thought, “some of us found it hard sleeping even after turning in. I Face timed with the kids and mom can be you know, something else.”Michael smiled, “well, since clearly you still need sleep, I will leave you to it.”“You are living already?”“Not till the next hour.”“I guess I really slept in didn’t I?”“It doesn’t matter, I will let them know to
Time flew by with Sasha and Michael getting closer than they ever thought they would, Sasha couldn’t help but feel that agreeing to start from the very beginning with him was the best decision she had ever made.She drove over to the Brown’s Villa where Vanessa had asked her to meet her. Arriving to the Villa, her children ran out to meet her and she was surprised, they have been staying with her mother for the past week now because she refused to let them leave, so what were they doing there?She kissed both their cheeks and they went inside together where she saw her mom and Vanessa laughing really hard at something. “Wow, that’s a sight you don’t see every day,” she smiled, walking up to them.“Sasha dear,” Vanessa smiled, “you are here.”The kids left her hands to go continue with their play. She kissed her mother on the cheek, “hi mom,” and then she kissed Vanessa as well, “hi mom.”“Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes dear,” Angelica said.“Oh, why wouldn’t she be, when I don’t kno
Sasha opened the door to the man standing outside dressed in a black blazer and white polo underneath and blank pants. He looked so different from the always in suit businessman she has come to know and she couldn’t not notice how handsome he looked.Michael was struck by the beauty of the lady in white in front of him; the gown she was wearing was among the recent things he bought for her during the time he got something for the kids. Never in his life had he imagined that she would wear anything from there anytime soon. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with few tendrils dropping at her cheeks, she smiled at his perusal, slowly biting her lower lip. “Wow,” was all he could say.“Wow what?” Sasha asked, feeling all giddy inside. This wasn’t the first time Michael was taking her out to eat but it was the first time he was picking her up to go on a date. She had sent the kids and Hannah to her mother’s place because she has been complaining that they don’t spend time with her enough t
Sasha parked in front of Friendly Zero, the new club that Janet insisted that they must attend as she has always wanted to check it out but didn’t want to go alone. She pulled down the visor and checked herself one more time on the mirror and pushed it back up. Then grabbing her clutch and phone, she killed the engine and climbed out of the car.She was the first to arrive among her friends and she loved that, for once she would be the one complaining of them keeping her waiting. It wasn’t long, she saw Janet pulling in and she grinned at her. Janet laughed seeing that and immediately after parking, she got down and went to her. “What is the matter Sash, why are you here already?”“Do you know how long I have been waiting?” she pretended to be angry.Janet laughed, “good for you, at least for once, you will be the one waiting.”Sasha grinned and glanced at the club door where two bouncers were attending to the long queue, “are you really sure we can get in there?”“Of course, why can’
